3 unusual facts about George Engel


Adolph Fischer

He was hanged on November 11, 1887 along with Spies, Parsons and George Engel.

August Spies

Spies was to stand trial with three others (Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden and Oscar Neebe), separated from the "Monday Night Conspirators” (Louis Lingg, George Engel and Adolph Fischer), the more extreme defendants alleged to have attended a planning meeting in the Greif’s Hall basement the night before the bombing.
